Proxmox setup help

[Leshy]

How much it finally cost & whether you paid anything extra for custom after initial purchase payment at ebay?


BX500 or MX500 & where?

no customs duty

I felt the BX500 should be good enough since the boot drive is a WD-SN571
this is for NAS PCIe passthrough

PS : this discount was for the Citibank card

thanks to @aasimenator for the pfsense box and @Pauljacob for helping me setup the router/firewall (pfsense)

Mx500 1TB went for 4.5 to 5k for 1tb last year many times.

Mx500 1TB went for 4.5 to 5k for 1tb last year many times.

It even went often for 4k too but those times are long gone & won't be coming back anytime soon except for some few minutes flash sale if lucky.

Any recent complete guide to instal Proxmox ? Also want to switch off unnecessary logging etc and make other optimizations. This is an NUC 13 i5.

Simplest way I have done this is use the helper scripts here
